• 2 tablespoons chives

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes. Set aside.

Step 2

Chop the onion and bell pepper finely.

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until crispy and golden brown. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Step 4

In another small skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until soft and translucent. Remove from heat.

In a nonstick pan, melt the butter over low heat.
